"If a foreigner staying in the kingdom over 90 days without notifying the Immigration Bureau or notifying the Immigration Bureau later than the set period, a fine of 2,000.- Baht will be collected. If a foreigner who did not make the notification of staying over 90 days is arrested, he will be fined 5,000.- Baht."

 

https://www.immigration.go.th/?page_id=1666#:~:text=– If a foreigner staying in,be fined 5%2C000.- Baht.

The sentece "If a foreigner who did not make the notification of staying over 90 days is arrested, he will be fined 5,000.- Baht." is wrong. It is not based on any law or any regulation based on any law.

Immigration officials can arrest a foreigner, but the implication that immigration can then fine him 5000 Baht is wrong.

That screen message is erroneous. No "application" for staying longer than 90 days was made. The legally required notification of the intention to stay longer than 90 days was submitted and no apprroval of this notification is legally required.

...The law allows them to charge up to 5,000 baht for a late 90-day address report...

No law allows immigration officials to issue a fine of "up to 5000 Baht" for the late sumission of the notification of the intention to stay in Thailand longer than 90 days.

Thank you for the update. This means that this topic can now be closed.

This taxation subject is already discussed elsewhere and is out of plase in the visa forum.

...2) My friend is coming to study in a Thei language school. She is bringing her nephew, a very skilled football player that West Ham United Thailand 13-17U team would like to go to the school and play on the team. They can not offer a visa for this, so can he stay on his Aunt's ED visa? Could I take guardianship and put him on my Retirement visa?

The nephew can get his own non-ED visa and one-year extensions under the clause 2.8 or 2.9, depending on the type of educational institution.

...1) My fiance will be bringing her 23 year old sister. Obviously once married my wife can stay as a dependent on my Retirement visa, but can the child? What if I become the guardian? Can the child go to public school? Would going to school allow them their own visa if the other option is not available?...

Who is the child in this scenario? How old is it and what is its nationality?

The Non Imm O is based on having a Thai son. Not married, separated with his mother. 

 

Thanks for all this information , really helpful.

So basically plan of action would be, do the last entry on my last day, which buys be another 90 days, get that extended by 60 days potentially, if Chiang Mai immigration accept the Birth Certificate, the issue might be his house registration is actually in Udon Thani, even though he lives with me here in Chiang Mai...

Seeing that your son is in fact living with you I suggest thar you discuss with your immigration office the possibility of applying for a one-year extension of stay under clause 2.18(5) of this Police Order about extensions:

It may be easier for you to get an agent if you are struggling. 

 

If you've done everything right with 800k baht the agent will only charge you a few thousand baht. 

 

The OP uses the monthly income method, not 800k in the bank.

With Kasikorn I also prepare a spread sheet every year summarising the monthly income payments and a copy of monthly statements with the income highlighted. Locally I have to use the Branch with an international department.

I have the managers email address and phone number and contact him.in advance. I get sent a 2 page letter from them listing the monthly income.

Is this for the Pattaya immigration office?

The topic title mentions that the OP uses the Pattaya immigration office.

You have to click on the e-extension dialog box on the Buriram Immigration landing page which then redirects to https://thaiextension.vfsevisa.com/

 

Then click on the 'How to apply' button which redirects to https://thaiextension.vfsevisa.com/information

 

So yeah, not on the Immi website at all as you said from the get-go.

Thank you. 

It makes one wonder whether VFS pays the Buriram immigration office an advertising fee for the placement of the link to their site on a page  of the official website of the Buriram immigration office.

P.S. It's even worse. The VFS link and an abvertising message about a special inaugural offer are on a page of the Immigration Bureau's official website immigration.go.th, not just on the site of a provincial office.

The infographic includes a 2D bar code, but the acknowledgement email doesn't - just plain text.  Does that sound right?

Yes, that sounds right.

It has to be CW, which is obviously your local immigration office, as you did your last extesion of stay there.

No, because for immigration purposes the child is not legally yours, (name on the birth certificate means nothing)

 

I have seen posts indicating that an immigration office granted the extension on the basis of the birth certificate combined with the personal confirmation of the child, who accompanied the father, that the latter was indeed the father and that they lived together. As I remember it, the child had to at least seven years old for this purpose. This procedure may vary from one immigration office to another.

@Udonthai

1. How old is your child?

2. Is your child in fact living with you on a continuous basis?

My child is depending on me

Got it. You are currently on the 90-day permission you received when you entered with a non-O visa, for which you had applied at a Thai embassy for the reason of travelling to Thailand to visit your child of Thai nationality. Now, you wish to apply for a one-year extension of stay for the reason of living with your child. Clause 2.18(5) first paragraph, applies to this.

Note: The correct translation of the Thai text would be:

"In the case of a parent, that parent must..."

Departing BKK is where you must use the foreigner line as the Thais have the scanning device with no actual person to stamp passport.

Aren't the automatic departure gates now available also to non-Thai nationals?
